Leaders Eat Last

This book by Simon Sinek was genuinely recommended once in the episodes we index, on Diary of a CEO. The people who vouched for it on air: Reggie Yates. It comes up in conversations about depression & mood, relationships. Every quote below is verbatim, attributed, and linked to the exact second it was said. Sourced expert opinion, not medical advice.

Why do only a few people get to say “I love my job?” It seems unfair that finding fulfillment at work is like winning a lottery; that only a few lucky ones get to feel valued by their organizations, to feel like they belong. Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work, feels trusted and valued during the day, then returns home feeling fulfilled. This is not a crazy, idealized notion. Today, in many successful organizations, great leaders are creating environments in which people naturally work together to do remarkable things.

• “leaders leaders eat last yeah the simon says um that's a great one for ego um i i sort of learned a lot from that about how to lead”

  Why it counts as a recommendation: “that's a great one for ego, i sort of learned a lot from that about how to lead”
